After eating noodles, Jiang Xia was forcibly pushed back to the room by Xia Shanshan to do his homework, seeing that he was about to take the college entrance examination, this kid didn't know how to work hard, he really thought that if he studied art well, he could be admitted to a good university?

Lying on the bed, looking at the white ceiling, he wondered what to do next.

After the failure of the business in the previous life, the parents sold the house to pay off the debt, the father was tired and drove in a car accident, and the mother devoted herself to the cause of education, running to the remote mountainous areas to teach, and finally became ill and was found to have died suddenly on the teaching plan.

It can be said that his entire life in his previous life was a complete failure.

Such a fate, he has to rewrite it no matter what!

Thinking like this, his mind gradually emptied, and the exhaustion of a night without sleep came to his heart from the limbs in his body, and the memory gradually returned to the past.

- At his father's funeral, he blamed himself and cried like a child; When he received the news of his mother's death, he locked himself in his room for three days and three nights without eating; Later, because of all kinds of daily trivialities, he and Lin Yanwan quarreled more and more frequently, until the day before the divorce, an earthquake suddenly occurred......

Jiang Xia woke up suddenly, he sat up straight and gasped, and the constantly flickering chandelier gradually froze into the familiar bedroom in front of him.

Originally...... Is it just a dream?

Luckily, it was just a dream.

Taking a deep breath with palpitations, Jiang Xia rubbed his somewhat sour eyes, and the sunlight outside the window mixed with birdsong slanted in, it was very dazzling, and he seemed to have slept for a long time.

I opened the bedroom door and walked out, there was no one in the living room, and when I saw the electronic clock on the TV, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

"Mom? Mother? ”

After calling twice and no one responded, he saw the message left by Xia Shanshan at the dinner table, and the format was as formal as ever.

Son:

I have something to go to school, your dad won't come back at noon, there are dishes in the refrigerator that I didn't finish yesterday, you can warm up lunch by yourself, and I'll come back in the evening to make a good meal.

Mom

7:48

Jiang Xia touched his stomach, he was indeed a little hungry after sleeping for so long. After a brief wash, I took out shredded pork with green peppers and overnight rice from the refrigerator, and then beat an egg and mixed it together to make a bowl of fried rice that smells delicious.

After eating and drinking and cleaning up the kitchen, he returned to his room, sat down at his desk and began to think seriously about what he was going to draw next.

Due to the changes in the world line, many well-known animation works in his previous life did not appear, so there are many animations that he can choose to reproduce.

However, excluding the complexity of the picture, the long production cycle, and the high cost, he temporarily set the style in the children's category.

After all, the production of children's animations is relatively simple, many of them have fixed backgrounds, which can appear repeatedly, and the pictures do not need to be too beautiful.

In this era when the network is not yet developed, people mainly receive information from television, and children's animation is also a guarantee of ratings.

The important thing is that the animation is easy to understand, there is no threshold, the audience is large, suitable for all ages, and the children who are the main force will not be picky at all, as long as they can make them laugh and want to continue watching, it is a successful work.

On this basis, Jiang Xia picked up the pen and listed many names in the notebook: SpongeBob SquarePants, Popeye, Bugs Bunny, Woody the Woodpecker, Crayon Xiaoxin, Cat and Mouse, Doraemon, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.

After careful consideration, he picked up the pen and crossed out the names one by one, and finally drew a circle on the world's classic masterpiece cat and mouse.

It's not that other animations are bad.,It's that he doesn't have the funds and connections now.,All animations that need to take into account voice actors.,× all of them.。

Throughout the whole book Cat and Mouse, Tom and Jerry, as the protagonists, do not appear in any lines, but the action and soundtrack are almost perfectly matched, and silence is better than sound.

And those soundtracks that are the essence can be found on the Internet with similar materials, as long as they are inserted in the subsequent editing, in short, they can be prostituted for nothing.

Moreover, the story of the cat and the mouse is easy to understand, even a child who has just turned one year old knows that it is the nature of the cat to catch the mouse, and the conflict of the whole story is also based on this - the cat catches the mouse, the mouse resists, and brings infinite joy to people in the competition (love and kill).

Jiang Xia leaned back in his chair and turned his pen, thinking about the classic images in his memory, Tom and Jerry, even if it was another hundred years, they were still fresh in their memory.

He first went through the entire production process in his mind, and he had ready-made scripts, overall art style, modeling design, props and scene design, and he could directly start drawing storyboards and original paintings, as for mid-stage coloring and post-production editing, he could rely on the existing software to complete.

An episode of Cat and Mouse is about 7 minutes long, considering that there are a large number of fixed backgrounds to be reused, and then the method of one shot and three is adopted, on average, an episode takes about 500 action original paintings, and the rest can be made by cutout synthesis, which greatly saves production time.

Although this production method is a little rougher, there is no way for him to do it now, and when he has enough principal in the future, it is not impossible to reset.

As for simple original paintings like cats and mice, he can draw about 50 to 80 hand-drawn pictures a day, which is still taking into account that it does not affect the spare time of learning, and if he draws with high intensity throughout the day, it should be faster.

In other words, from the beginning of the drawing to the cutting of the finished film, it should be completed in 20 days to a month.

You must know that in the early animation production of Cat and Mouse, it took a team of 150 people 18 months to draw a full 18,000 original paintings, which is undoubtedly too much faster.

And he can only produce independently now, if it is a small team, everyone has a clear division of labor, and in the way of assembly line production, he can almost do one episode a week.

But now I can only think about it.

Let out a long exhale, looking at the white clouds in the sky, as if transformed into Tom and Jerry.

He groaned, picked up the sharpened pencil and drawing paper on the side, and quickly sketched it, and after ten minutes or so, the classic image of the cat and mouse came to life.

Jiang Xia picked up the drawing paper and examined it carefully, and buried himself in revising several details to make it look more consistent with the appearance in his memory.

Then there is the coloring, the blue-gray Tom Cat and the brown Jerry Mouse, with vivid and rich expressions, which are enough to make the audience like the two of them at a glance.

After doing all this, he solemnly wrote down a few words - Episode 1: Sweet Home.

The story is that Tom breaks many things in the room while chasing Jerry, and is reprimanded by his master for breaking one more and getting out. When Jerry saw this scene, Jerry laughed. Due to the ban, Tom did not dare to provoke Jerry with the fragile object, and Jerry became more arrogant after having the protection, which ended in Jerry's big victory and Tom being evicted from the house.
